Like the verb “trump,” the words zoom, hangouts (Google) and connect (Adobe) will never be the same. Every day at 3 p.m. Milwaukee time, a worker in her adult living community calls one of us through Skype or FaceTime. In our various time zones, from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m., Mom talks with one of us and sometimes a grandchild on an electronic tablet. She repeatedly tells me I look beautiful (I ignore her failing eyesight—who grows out of a mother’s love?). I ask how the weather looks outside her window, we say “I miss you,” and make future plans to be together.
